This distribution of the ball was terrible in that game.

Jesus. If we keep this up when the club eventually get around to the unveiling/s it will be like a damn full team photo! \o/
Hold on mate - I said look back, not pass back.
Saw some stats today that shows that his passing is predominantly of two types: played quickly out wide with long distribution passed out to the flanks for the wide forwards and then much longer, more vertical passes through the inside channels towards the penalty area which Soldado would love.
By looking back I meant a player who does not get a rush of adrenalin when the team is in attack mode but actually understands his role and drops back into the space to allow his teammates to do their stuff with solidity and security.

Sly sports were pronouncing his name as "Cap-poo"... wouldn't work as well. Need to know how his name is pronounced first!
Tottenham have agreed a deal to sign France midfielder Etienne Capoue from Ligue 1 club Toulouse.
The 25-year-old is undergoing a medical and the White Hart Lane outfit are expected to announce his arrival later on Friday, or Saturday.
Capoue fact file
Born: 11 July, 1988
Position: Defensive midfield or centre-back
Club career: Since making his Ligue 1 debut in the 2007-08 season, has made 140 top flight appearances for Toulouse
International record: Has won five caps for France
Reports suggest Capoue, who scored seven goals in 33 top flight games last season, will join for a fee in the region of £9m.
Capoue, who has won five caps for France, can also play at centre-back.
When previously asked about the player's suggested move to White Hart Lane, Toulouse president Olivier Sadran was quoted in L'Equipe as telling RMC: "He will go there."
Tottenham are short in defence after Steven Caulker moved to Cardiff, while Jan Vertonghen and Younes Kaboul are recovering from injuries.
Capoue would become their fourth summer signing, following Brazilian midfielder Paulinho from Corinthians, Belgium winger Nacer Chadli from FC Twente and Spain striker Roberto Soldado from Valencia for a club record £26m.
His arrival could pave the way for a midfielder to leave White Hart Lane, with Scott Parker linked to West Ham and Queens Park Rangers.
anyone else think that we offered them caulker as a peace offering since they were first to Capoue?
